A Barrett Jackson truck - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I appreciate the work involved to make it look like that.
However I'm not real big on lowered trucks or short wheel base trucks.
If you want a cool muscle car, buy/build a cool muscle car.
If you want a truck, buy/build a truck.
Relax, just my opinion.

So with the 10% stuff and what the guy said he had in rcpts, did he actually make any money?

I love these trucks and thought that the 10K that I put into my was alot, but NO WAY would I spend that much money on these trucks, must be nice to have money to waste like that....

I love the paint color of this truck.

But for me the interior was a big turn off. The color of the interior was great. I just not a fan of the "old style" setup.

Just my opinion here.

Thats good money for a truck in my opinion.
The "Habanero" C-10 only pulled only in the 40K range when it went across (I believe last year)

This truck was on the Mecum a couple of months ago. $60K in receipts plus hauling the truck all over the country to find a buyer...I'm sure he didn't make a penny.

I'm watching the news this morning and the auctions in AZ have been torn up by the wind and rain. We actually had a tornado watch last night. The news showed collapsed tents, cars impaled by debris, and convertibles top down in the rain (I can only assume the covers were ripped off by wind).

So I guess he's lucky he sold it before it got wrecked........

Thats almost like how i am doing the dash in my blazer

**67cheby** · 01-22-2010, 12:43 PM

ap2002 · 01-22-2010, 01:43 PM

i would take that truck over copperhead anyday!! especially with the LS2 motor!

johndawelder · 01-22-2010, 01:51 PM

That is a stock windshield,I have one with the blue tint.Most were either clear or green tint.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 01-22-2010, 02:10 PM

Those tents that were lifted off the ground were from the Russo and Steele Auction.

For those interested in seeing a video.

Copperhead has nothing on this truck, so I agree with you...

I know how expensive it gets really quick specially when you buy quality brand new stuff. Sometimes is not about making money is about geting most of it back some guys enjoy building them.

TCLARK · 01-22-2010, 02:58 PM

.............not in love with the dash !

dieselarmy13 · 01-22-2010, 04:10 PM

Probably one of the coolest trucks I have ever seen. Could have done without the side vent, but hey, you can't win 'em all.

Hook'em · 01-22-2010, 04:55 PM

I am not much into custom modifications, but that truck is gorgeous. I really like that the exterior, although modified, keeps the correct lines and feel. Especially like that the red bowtie is left on the grill (oft times the first thing to be changed). The interior is a different story all together. Done well, but I don't like it at all.

VA72C10 · 01-22-2010, 05:05 PM

I think if they would have done w/out the side vents and created a contoured center console to match the contour on the door panels and blend into the dash the truck would have gone to an entirely other level....but it is still an amazing truck....hope mine gets at least half that much when I sell it

I'm pretty sure that isn't a stock windshield. It appears to be a flush mount glue-in style, much like late model vehicles use.

Thats the kind of build that I couldn't afford the lugnuts!!!! LOL!!!

I was at Barrett Jackson and looked at the truck and it is a stock windsheild, it might look differant because of the shaved drip rails.

They said they recessed it in....looking at the pictures it looks like the top corners of the gasket didn't cover the recessed area...did it look like that in person? Could you tell how they flushed in the rear windshield?

Danny Bost · 01-23-2010, 05:45 PM

Nice truck. I will take some ideas away from it. I hope mine is that nice, but I would never sell.

**70cst** · 01-23-2010, 06:47 PM

Very nice truck but different. Lots of work has gone into this truck and I bet it rides and handles well.

Surely you were just being sarcastic....no way you would think $15K for a custom truck of this quality?

I love the truck...It's just a little too nice for a daily driver though. If I was gozillionaire I would buy one like already done and drive the h out it.

gonzo6869 · 01-23-2010, 07:27 PM

I would make room in my garage for that truck
